Subject : getting Chime working with MS Internet Explorer I used to run version 1 of Chime with MSIE3 and it worked. Then I upgraded to MSIE4.01 (under Win95) and soon after I tried to upgrade to Chime 2. It failed with an "Error locating object identifier" for pdb and most other relevant file type. I played around and got nowhere; I e-mailed MDL and got no response. In the end I put it down to bad luck and a system that had seen too many upgrades and service releases. I have now just tried to get Chime 2 working with MSIE5 under WinNT4 on a new clean system - it says that it installed successfully but it failed in exactly the same fashion despite the fact all the file types do seem to registered with Windows. At this point I am wondering if I am alone in my misery, whether there a simple fix that I am missing or does any user of MSIE simply have to abandon hope of ever using Chime again. In fact in this latter case it was at least a simple problem ... still by this time I had written this message so just in case someone else is suffering then here is the solution. ... the plugins had been installed in the wrong directory (in my case they should have been in C:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\PLUGINS rather than C:\SP4\I386\Plugins and a simple copy across of the four chime related files solved the problem); so much for intelligent automated installation - perhaps it's not too surprising that Mark Winter's records show only 2% of users have a working Chime plug-in !
